If Justin Hunter or Keenan Allen are not available than I think they should draft Kawann Short or John Jenkins.

Than in the 2nd draft TJ McDonald, Kenny Vaccaro, Tony Jefferson.

And finally instead of trading back up into the 1st like others have brought up they should trade up into the 2nd and take Terrance Williams, Da'Rick Rogers, Marquess Wilson, Cordarrelle Patterson, Cobi Hamilton, DeAndre Hopkins.

For example, say we're picking 20th (R1), 52nd (R2), if we wanted to acquire say pick 60 in addition, we would have to give up:

If the gm is the genius you are all saying, and the team is so great, they should be dealing quantity for quality......

If your GM drafts well, it should be the other way around. If your confident in your ability to find starters anywhere in the draft, you will be more prone to trading high picks (quality) for low picks (quantity).

except there supposedly isn't room on this roster for 6 or more new players....so I say it is the opposite if what you say._________________Wins are a team stat, not a QB stat

How can u determine that? We still need to go through free agency and resigning players before we can determine exactly how many players we have/need._________________

You are always looking to improve even if that means cutting players that might be decent depth guys.

Reed, Evans, Ballard, LB depth, DB depth - this defense may be playing well but the depth isn't great.

Starting WR's and Offensive line depth is even worse._________________

I would be very happy with McDonald in round 1. The Safety spot is integral for a defense, and we are seeing that with how well Harrison Smith has played.

I like the idea of going with a DB in round 1. After the past decade of getting generally poor DB play, is exciting thinking about the prospects of a stacked and young secondary.

I can't find it now, but last night I was reading how when Frazier and Williams went with Dungy to Indy, they revamped the secondary. Me thinks they might dothat here too.

Oh, found it...

Quote:

As for Williams, Dungy said Frazier and Williams worked well together for two years in Indianapolis and played a big part in developing some star defensive players.

"Bob Sanders, Marlin Jackson, Kelvin Hayden were some young defensive backs that helped us go to the Super Bowl," Dungy said. "Alan really did a great job of developing. He's a good teacher. I think he's going to do great things [for the Vikings].

"When we got [to Indianapolis], we kind of revamped the secondary. We had some veteran guys -- Nick Harper was kind of our standout -- but every year, we drafted guys and by the time we got to the Super Bowl definitely Bob Sanders and Mike Doss were really young guys, Big Ten guys, Iowa and Ohio State, and Alan did a good job of developing them.

"[In 2005,] the year before we got to the Super Bowl, we drafted Marlin Jackson and Kelvin Hayden No. 1 and No. 2, Marlin was at Michigan and Kelvin was from Illinois, so we had kind of an All-Big Ten secondary, and they were all young guys, and Alan did a great job of turning them into a Super Bowl-winning unit."

I do not think it.....the phrase at the beginning of my statement was pretty clear on that. People ate talking about a team with few holes. And how the gm can do no wrong in the draft. If it is a team with no holes, they do not need 7 new players.

I believe there are holes, but I also believe you are hard presses to find starters past round 3, which many of you all said when some criticized the later round picks, so please do not try to have it both ways._________________Wins are a team stat, not a QB stat

If the gm is the genius you are all saying, and the team is so great..

please stop exaggerating for effect and putting statements wholesale in to others' mouths. it's beneath you and your intelligence.

from what i've read from guys here, they are congratulating Spielman for what looks like to be a strong draft on his part. no one is using the absolute language and phrases that you credit (or perhaps discredit) them for.

Everson Griffen, Fusco, Mistral Raymond, and Blair Walsh come to mind, off the top of my head. Griffen isn't technically a starter, but that's only because it's tough to find the right slot to put him in._________________

to be fair to me, it was clearly stated in at least two recent threads that the team has "no holes", or "few, if any, holes". So yes, people are saying that.

As for your examples, well, you only need 1 kicker. And Raymond is a starter because they have no good option at that position, right? As for Fusco, the jury is still out on his effectiveness, but yes, he is a starter.

Do you think there is room for 6 new starters on this roster? Would any be filled by FAs? I'd rather have 4 picks in the first three rounds, than 7 picks._________________Wins are a team stat, not a QB stat
